There?s no food getting in so people are starving,? surgeon Tom Potokar says
British doctors working in Gaza have described the territory as a ?slaughterhouse,? where the patients they are treating are severely malnourished.

Plastic surgeons and orthopedic specialists from the UK are based at the Amal and Nasser hospitals in Khan Younis in the south of the territory.

Dr. Tom Potokar, a plastic surgeon specializing in burn injuries, has worked in Gaza 16 times but said this mission had revealed a level of destruction far greater than his last visit in 2023,

For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it. If you do you are labelled an extremist. However this out of control immigration is fully facilitated by the Irish government and the EU and the shady figure behind the Neo Con movement pushing for endless war, wokeism and globalist agenda.

Sean Garland, The Workers Party, The Columbia 3 and Extadition.

category national | rights, freedoms and repression | opinion/analysis author Wednesday November 16, 2005 14:10author by pat c Report this post to the editors

Sean Garland is now a fugitive from "justice" in Northern Ireland. Having broken his bail conditions, he has remained in the South following his hospital treatment.

Does the WP oppose extradition for all political prisoners? Do they oppose the extradition of the Columbia 3?

The Workers Party in general and Sean Garland in particular have a long history of supporting the extradition of Republicans. Anyone who disagreed with them was slandered as being a Provo Trot or Provo Hushpuppy. The WPs hatred of Republicans even extended to opposing the right of H Block prisoners to wear their own clothes. This was at a time when OIRA prisoners were stilling enjoying Political Status.

Do the WP now oppose extradition for all Political Prisoners or are they tactically opposing it in the case of Sean Garland. If in future Republican prisoners are threatened with extradition can they rely on the support of the WP?

Take the case of the Columbia 3, they might face extradition to a country where their lives are at risk and they have no chance of getting justice. So far the WP have been silent on the Columbia3. Sean Garland writes: " I am not willing to face what is in effect a court which has its hands tied by an act which is primarily dictated by the political agenda of the US."

Well the same is true of the courts which the Columbia 3 will face in a country whose agenda is dictated by the US.

Sean Garland is facing extradition on political charges: he should not be extradited to either the North or the US.

The Columbia 3 are also facing the posibility of extradition on political charges: they should not be extradited to Columbia.

I hope that the Workers Party and all of those who oppose the extradition of Sean Garland will show that their opposition to extradition is based on principle. They can do this by opposing any attempts to extradite the Columbia 3.
